I grew up with Joy in Hampton while she ljved there. We were more like sisters attending the same schools from elementary through highschool. She ALWAYS had a smile!
No matter where life took us, in different directions it was just like we had never been away from each other and struck up conversation each time we saw each other and always stayed in touch no matter what.
This loss is hitting me hard as wellbrcause it is losing a meme her of my family and in my heart she will always remain with the cherished memories we shared throughout life. I am so glad we talked the last time she was in Walmart and she told me,"Bye Zina, talk to you soon". Now I am having to say farewell my beloved friend until we meet again on Heavens shore!
